Hatch & Tangency
Translating Focus: Tangency to Hatch
Analog and Digital 2D to 3D Translations
In analog, the collage and model highlight tangency translated from 2D to 3D. Digitally, focus shifted to unconventionally and literally taking the formal language of hatch from 2D to 3D.
In this series, the analog portion used floating volumes to create hierarchy and emphasize tangency taking the collage as a plan. Translating from analog to digital, the hatch uses density to denote physical depth. The digital translation to 3D transform hatch to a saw tooth pattern
Inverted Symmetry
The Volume and the Unrolled Surface
Implicating and Breaking of Rule Sets
The unrolled cube uses a rule of “inverted symmetry” on opposing faces to explore how opposing faces interact with other faces similarly and differently, creating various moments in 3D.
Animation
Conveying Emotion
Layering, Narrative, and Movement
Tide pens are common household tools used to remove stains in clothing. The animation conveys the narrative when using a tide pen. Frames are concentrated when the pen in depositing fluid to convey the frustration of stain removing in the process.
Circulation & Form
A Pavilion to Display Art
Interdependence of Curves and a Bounding Box
The pavilion is a culmination of a precedent and an assigned artist (Kenneth Tam) to create a space for the art. The building explores the relationship between curves and a bounding box derived from the precedent in order to highlight circulation within the space. The building explores the relationship between the art and the viewer and how the viewer’s experience is interactive with other experiencing the art.
Precedent Study and Iterative Process
Research and Iteration as a Feedback Loop
Using SO IL’s Kukje Gallery (above) as a precedent to derive basic figures, iterations where created to explore formal way in which curves interact with a bounding box to create moments: bifurcating the figure, ambiguating the edge, insetting curve, creating spatial voids, implementing tangency. These moments were translated into various ways to experience art on display and highlight circulation within the spaces.
A A Ground Floor Plan
Plano-metric and Sectional Walk-through
Implication of the Iterative Process
The drawings implements the curves as transitions between spaces in a circular manner. Starting from the ground floor after meandering around the art the viewer must go outside to move up the building. The transition between floors and art uses the glass wall surrounding the staircase. The first floor uses obstructed views to provide varying experiences. The second floor requires a person to go through an outside corridor to experience the art piece in the smaller space. This encourages to not only view the art but to look back at others going through the same process as them.
